Taking a risk, giving up golf and going for a walk (7)
I believe the answer is:
ambling
'taking' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being present participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ambling that I've seen before include "Walking at an easy pace" , "Walking at a slow, relaxed pace" , "going slowly" , "Strolling" , "Walking slowly" .)
